Brescia, Alessandro Magro warns his team about away trip to Sassari
The words of Alessandro Magro
Coach Alessandro Magro presented the challenge between Pallacanestro Brescia and Dinamo Sassari in a press conference: "We present the challenge away on the difficult court of Sassari, and we will certainly find a different team than the one we faced in the’first leg because in the’last period they are one of the teams most in form and confidence given the results achieved and having beaten a team like Bologna at home and having had the abilityà to go and win on the difficult court of Venice".
"In addition, they are fresh from the change of coach and with the arrival Jefferson certainly have regained a great balance and re-established hierarchies within the team – he added -, they have in Jefferson and Tyree two excellent ball-handlers capable of creating so much for themselves but also for their teammates. To underline the form and the moment that a player like Cappelletti is experiencing, who from the bench is able to give great energy on defense and ideas and cues on offense thanks to his ability to make others play and in the last two games also to score an average of 8 points".
"They have re-established the hierarchies in what concerns the role of Charalampopoulos and Mckinnie who up to this moment had gone a bit’ alternating, while instead lately they have brought back solidityà and there’s the idea of alternating in the roles of small wing and big wing. Great impact comes from the long package, Gombauld who had an excellent game in Venice, and Diop, who we know had physical problems during the season, now seems totally recovered and is having a great impact".
"I repeat, è a difficult court and we know this also from personal experience – emphasized the Germani coach -, it è never easy to go and win in Sassari and at this time especially they will have not only the motivation to try to reach the playoffs, but they are also driven by the’idea that they have already beaten two top of the class and will try to continue their path".
"On our side, on the other hand, we are coming off a good week of training, the team is continuing to train well and we have been practicing the situations that we think are most congenial to get this away win. It would certainly be important to try to keep the lead in the standings and then face Bologna with at least two points at home in the big big match next week, but right now we are focused on this game, we think about one game at a time".
"We have recovered some physical condition except for Cobbins who as you already know will be out for a few more weeks. We are eager to see if we got rid of the rust we had in some gears and so I think there is no better game than the one with Sassari to have a test of the highest level" concluded Magro.
